Chapter 149: On the eve of departure

Out of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, the sky was already a little dark, and Cao Wei went straight home.

This mission to Jiangxi will not end in three to five days, and the danger factor is very great. Cao Wei had already prepared for the worst, so he was in a hurry to go home to accompany his wife, telling her that if something happened to her, she didn't have to be widowed for herself......

"Leave on the same day" means that you will leave on the same day, of course, this does not mean that Mu Bin asked Cao Wei to leave on the same day, but is urging him to go to Jiangxi as soon as possible.

It was not so much Mu Bin's meaning as it was the will of Emperor Zhu Youji, who was eager to know what his distant cousin in Nanchang wanted to do. So Cao Wei didn't dare to slack off, and planned to set off tomorrow morning.

If you go early and return early, you may also die early and be born early. Of course, waiting for death to admit cowardice is not Cao Wei's style, it is his disposition to immediately slip away when he sees that the situation is not good, except for Xie Wan in the entire Ming Dynasty, no one can let him give up his life and exchange his life for his life.

In Qinyang Bofu, Cao Wei and Xie Wan lived on the upper seat, and the housekeeper Wang Sheng said respectfully: "Master, you can go with confidence, you don't need to worry about the affairs of the family, you must be good when you get there!" ”

Cao Wei touched his nose and said, "Uncle Wang, why do I think what you said tastes a little wrong, it doesn't look like a farewell, but like a funeral ......."

Wang Shengbao said with a smile: "It's the old slave who doesn't speak well, the old slave must burn incense and worship the Buddha every day at home, and pray for peace for you." ”

Cao Wei was surprised and said, "Uncle Wang, when did you start believing in Buddhism?" ”

Wang Sheng smiled and didn't speak, but there was some shyness in it.

Xie Wan said in a low voice: "There is a widow on the street in front of her, she looks quite thoughtful, and she believes in Buddhism!" Uncle Wang often went over to chat with her, and after coming and going, he became acquainted, and Uncle Wang didn't go back to the house last night......"

Cao Wei glanced at Wang Sheng meaningfully, and said, "When I come back from Jiangxi, I must drink your wedding wine to celebrate Uncle Wang's second success...... By the way, how about the blessing and the heavenly joy? Can the two of them accept an extra stepmother? ”

Wang Sheng's face was slightly red, his hands didn't know where to put them, he looked a little cramped and uneasy, and said: "Thanks to you, they are all going to private school now, and the old slave checks their studies on weekdays, and they all learn very well."

Now the two of them will often go to Qi Niang's house for dinner, and the three of them get along very well, Qi Niang has no children, and regards them as her own......"

Cao Wei nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, Master Ben won't say anything more, you pay two hundred taels of silver from the account room, which should be regarded as a congratulatory gift from Master Ben to you when you get married."

I won't be out for too short this time, if there is something at home, you can go to Master Mu, don't act recklessly. If Lord Mu comes to the mansion as a guest, you can hide all the good things, but you don't dare to let him get into trouble again. ”

Wang Sheng nodded yes, Cao Wei turned his head to look at Liu Liangnu, and said: "Liangnu, after my brother leaves, you must go home every day before dark, and you must not stay outside. Remember, don't let Zhu Houzhao kiss him, otherwise you will be happy! ”

Liu Liangnu's face was full of shame, and she said in a loud voice: "My brother lied, and Houzhao secretly kissed me when he was in Nanjing, and he didn't see any joy......

Cao Wei sighed and said, "Forget it, the cabbage has grown up, and I have grown legs and rubbed against the pig, I can't control it!" Alright, you guys go about your business, and I'll have a few words with Madame! ”

Wang Sheng and Liu Liangnu got up and left, Cao Wei looked at Xie Wan and said with a smile: "Madam, this time for my husband to go to Jiangxi, as a minister, he is majestic and has his own bearing.

What's more important is that you can take public funds to go to the mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun without having to pay your own money, maybe you can also make some extra money, not to mention how happy you are, this kind of good errand is not envied by others.

Of course, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have good and bad luck, maybe they will suddenly suffer a catastrophe and a life! Don't stare at me like that, you listen to me finish talking, in case ...... In case something happens to your husband, you don't need to be a widow for me......"

Xie Wan sat up from the chair suddenly, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she said loudly: "Is it dangerous to go to Jiangxi this time?" Is it life-threatening? Xianggong, let's not go, okay? Let's live a good life at home, and if you must go, take me with you, so that you can take care of me. ”

Cao Wei's nose was sour, he almost cried, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Where will there be any danger?" As a husband, he is a minister, and there are countless guards around him, all of whom are top masters, and there will be no problems!

I can't take you with me when I go out this time, we can't have no person in charge in our family, you are the housewife of the family, so the big and small affairs in the family have to be handled by the lady. ”

Xie Wanhu wondered: "Is there really no danger?" ”

"Not really! Even if there is danger, the husband will slip away when he sees that the situation is not good, and the gentleman will not stand under the dangerous wall, and the husband still understands this truth. By the way, why don't you see Miss Qiao? ”

Xie Wan's face was slightly red, and she said, "Shanshan wants to have a child, so you have to work hard before Qian Ning leaves."

Xianggong, the concubine has been married to the Cao family for some days, and this stomach has not moved, and the concubine is ashamed of the ancestors of the Cao family, otherwise...... Otherwise, you can take a concubine's room! Many large families have many concubines in their homes, and the concubines don't want people to be called jealous women! ”

Cao Wei laughed and said: "There are no heirs because the husband and wife have not worked hard enough, tonight our husband and wife will fight for another three hundred rounds, and we must succeed immediately, and become a hit......

Jiaofu!

Jiao Huangzhong hurriedly ran into the inner hall, bumped into a maid carrying a teapot, and immediately became angry, slapped her to the ground, and said angrily: "Contemptible people, they are really blind, they dare to rush into this son, ......and they will be killed."

The maidservant hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Jiao Fang walked out of it, her brows furrowed slightly, and said: "Huang Zhong, why bother to meet with a subordinate, it's really embarrassing!" ”

"Grandpa, that Cao Wei is about to go to Jiangxi, and now the palace has no intention of letting me be an attendant at all, could it be that Cao Wei didn't recommend me to His Majesty at all?"

Jiao Huangzhong is a second-class jinshi, according to the convention, he is to be released as an official, after becoming a magistrate, let alone being a waiter in the East Palace, even if he wants to return to Beijing to serve, it is not so easy.

10,000 taels of silver is not a small amount for the Jiao family, Jiao Huangzhong thought that Cao Wei would be completely sure if he took the silver, so he had a very leisurely life these days, but when he knew that Cao Wei was going to Jiangxi, he was suddenly in a hurry and hurriedly came to Jiao Fang to get an idea.

Jiao Fang was silent for a moment and said, "Either he didn't recommend you, or he recommended you, but the palace didn't speak."

Now that he is about to go to Jiangxi, a brocade guard inspects the officials, and the old man always feels that things are not so simple. Let's wait and see what happens, and then ask him for an explanation after he returns to Beijing, after all, our Jiao family's silver is not so easy to get......"

Jiao Huangzhong said eagerly: "Grandpa, the appointment of the Ministry of Officials will be issued in the next few days, and if the grandson is released, it will be too late!" ”

Jiao Fang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the old man still has some connections in the ministry, so I will prepare some gifts to visit one or two in the next few days, and someone will definitely give the old man some affection." ”
